One of the things that consistently galls me about guys like Raines is how the media totally ignores the story. Just think what they could do if they chose to — as the NY Times used to put it — “flood the zone” with the story. Raines, Gorelick et al would be cursed by the masses. That might, just might, make all those millions sting a little.

Yet the media won’t touch it. Jon Stewart, Colbert… where is the mockery? Nothing and nothing again. The newspapers don’t even care that exposing the entire dirty Democratic money machine might spur sales of their dying rags. They are just that blinded by ideology.
